Banish Your Skin Insecurities With These Simple Procedures!

Let’s face it, we all have parts of ourselves that we’re not so keen on. While learning to love ourselves exactly as we are is great in theory, it’s not so easy when it comes down to it. The good news is that you don’t have to live with insecurity. There are lots of minor cosmetic procedures you can have done which can be completed within an hour or two, and require no recovery time. You don’t even need to go under general anesthetic! Here are some of the simple procedures you can have done to banish your insecurities once and for all.

Moles

Not only can moles be a source of insecurity, but they can also be a health issue too. Moles that are asymmetric, have ragged edges, have different colours or changes size and shape can be indicative of cancer. People with a lot of moles may worry that if one becomes problematic, it will be harder to spot. Mole mapping can be useful as it allows you to keep an eye on them and track each one over time. You could also opt to have them removed; this is something that people with moles on the face and neck and very visible places tend to go for. It’s worth bearing in mind that a mole removal can leave a small scar, so weigh up whether this is worth it for you. You could search for skin screening clinics to find a specialist local to you.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, flesh coloured growths. They’re usually found on areas such as under the arms, the groin and under skin folds- any area which touches another area of skin is most at risk. However, they can appear just about anywhere. They’re not harmful but can be annoying, and if you have a lot of skin tags or if they’re in a visible place they can make you feel insecure. An appointment with your GP or a skin clinic will remove skin tags; they’re frozen or burned off with little pain in a similar way that warts are removed.

Acne Scars

Acne can be difficult to deal with, but to make matters worse once the breakouts finally clear up you can be left with scarring. But there’s no need to give up on the idea of great skin. There are a range of treatments you can have done which can help to improve the skin’s texture and colour. Skin peels, micro needling, and laser treatment, are just a few of the procedures you could consider. The exact treatment and its effectiveness will depend on a range of factors but speak to a skin specialist who will be able to point you in the right direction.

If all you need to get rid of your insecurities is a simple treatment, why wouldn’t you? Some things might even be able to be treated by the NHS. Others you will have to pay for privately, but it’s well worth it to improve your confidence.
